PELHAM BAY P1RH.

Just about year ago The TRIBUNE warned
the city officials that the scheme to establish
a lot of new parks above the Harlem was
threatening the taxpayers with another crush
ing burden of many millions of dollars. The
advice then given was that the plan be tenn
porarily abandoned and rcanangcd upon new
and letter lines. Had cx-MayOr Grace done
his duty and followed the suggestions made
NV Controller Locw and Corporation Counsel
Lacombc it would have been comparatively
easy TO withdraw from the project. But Mr..
Grace was too busy with his schemes Of one
kind or another to admit of his giving much
attention to the business Of saving the city a
triiling expense of ten or twenty millions. Hc
